What's the coolest thing your library has available to check out? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Inspired by me learning that I can check out solar panels (hiking sized, not house sized) at the library.

Original art (paintings and sculptures) by local artists. They csn be checked out for three months at a time. It's really nice to have some original art in your home even if it it's not by a big name.

Also, I can easily access most of my country's important newspapers' online articles that are normally behind a paywall.

Damn, renting out art? That's actually pretty cool.
